2 Protective Functions
This chapter explains the "PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS" that operate in this product.
2.1 Inverter fault and alarm indications

• When the inverter detects a fault, depending on the nature of the fault, the operation panel displays an error message or
warning, or a protective function is activated to shut off the inverter output.
• When any fault occurs, take an appropriate corrective action, then reset the inverter, and resume the operation. Restarting
the operation without a reset may break or damage the inverter.
• When a protective function is activated, note the following points.
Item Description
Opening the magnetic contactor (MC) provided on the input side of the inverter at a fault occurrence shuts off

measures will lead to a fault.
Alarm The inverter output is not shut off. An Alarm (LF) signal can also be output with a parameter setting.
Fault When a protective function is activated, the inverter output is shut off and a Fault (ALM) signal is output.
NOTE
• The last 10 faults can be displayed on the operation panel. (Fault history) (For operation, refer to page 13.)

2.1 Inverter fault and alarm indications
2.2 Reset method for the protective functions 1
Reset the inverter by performing any of the following operations. Note that the accumulated heat value of the electronic thermal
relay function and the number of retries are cleared (erased) by resetting the inverter. 2
The inverter recovers about 1 second after the reset is released.
• On the operation panel, press the STOP/RESET key to reset the inverter. (This may only be performed when a fault occurs. 3
(Refer to page 21 of the Instruction Manual for faults.))
• Switch the power OFF once, then switch it ON again.

3 Precautions for Maintenance and Inspection
This chapter explains the precautions for maintenance and inspection of this product.
3.1 Inspection item

The inverter is a static unit mainly consisting of semiconductor devices. Daily inspection must be performed to prevent any fault
from occurring due to the adverse effects of the operating environment, such as temperature, humidity, dust, dirt and vibration,
changes in the parts with time, service life, and other factors.
 Precautions for maintenance and inspection

When accessing the inverter for inspection, wait for at least 10 minutes after the power supply has been switched OFF. Then,
make sure that the voltage across the main circuit terminals P/+ and N/- on the inverter is not more than 30 VDC using a digital
multimeter, etc.
3.1.1 Daily inspection

Basically, check for the following faults during operation.
• Motor operation fault
• Improper installation environment
• Cooling system fault
• Abnormal vibration, abnormal noise
• Abnormal overheat, discoloration
3.1.2 Periodic inspection

Check the areas inaccessible during operation and requiring periodic inspection. Consult us for periodic inspection.
Check and clean the cooling system: Clean the air filter, etc.
Check the tightening and retighten: The screws and bolts may become loose due to vibration, temperature
changes, etc. Check and tighten them. Tighten them according to the specified
tightening torque. (Refer to the FR-E800 Instruction Manual (Connection).)
Check the conductors and insulating materials for corrosion and damage.
Measure the insulation resistance.
Check and change the cooling fan and relay.
NOTE
• When using the safety stop function, periodic inspection is required to confirm that safety function of the safety system
operates correctly. For details, refer to the FR-E800 Instruction Manual (Functional Safety).

*1 Oil component of the heat dissipation grease used inside the inverter may leak out. The oil component, however, is not flammable, corrosive, nor
conductive and is not harmful to humans. Wipe off such oil component.
*2 It is recommended to install a voltage monitoring device for checking the voltage of the power supplied to the inverter.
*3 One to two years of periodic inspection cycle is recommended. However, it differs according to the installation environment.
Consult us for periodic inspection.
NOTE
• Continuous use of a leaked, deformed, or degraded smoothing aluminum electrolytic capacitor (as shown in the table above)
may lead to a burst, breakage, or fire. Replace such capacitor without delay.
3.1.4 Checking the inverter and converter modules

 Preparation
• Disconnect the external power supply cables (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3) and motor cables (U, V, W).
• Prepare a continuity tester. (For the resistance measurement, use the 100 Ω range.)
 Checking method
Change the polarity of the tester alternately at the inverter terminals R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, U, V, W, P/+, and N/- and check the
electric continuity.
NOTE
• Before measurement, check that the smoothing capacitor is discharged.
• At the time of electric discontinuity, the measured value is almost ∞. When there is an instantaneous electric continuity, due
to the smoothing capacitor, the tester may not indicate ∞. At the time of electric continuity, the measured value is several Ω to
several tens of Ω. When all measured values are almost the same (although values may not be constant depending on the
tester type), it shows that there are no electrical paths with problems.

3.1.5 Cleaning
Always run the inverter in a clean status.
When cleaning the inverter, gently wipe dirty areas with a soft cloth immersed in neutral detergent or ethanol. 6
NOTE
• Do not use solvent, such as acetone, benzene, toluene and alcohol, as these will cause the inverter surface paint to peel off.
• The display, etc. of the operation panel are vulnerable to detergent and alcohol. Therefore, avoid using them for cleaning. 7
3.1.6 Replacement of parts 8

The inverter consists of many electronic parts such as semiconductor devices.
The following parts may deteriorate with age because of their structures or physical characteristics, leading to reduced
performance or fault of the inverter. For preventive maintenance, the parts must be replaced periodically. 9
Use the life check function as a guidance of parts replacement.
Part name Estimated lifespan*1 Description
Cooling fan 10 years Replace (as required) 10
Main circuit smoothing capacitor *2 Replace (as required)

(without corrosive gas, flammable gas, oil mist, dust and dirt etc.)
*2 Output current: 80% of the inverter ND rating
NOTE
• For parts replacement, contact the nearest Mitsubishi FA center.
 Inverter parts life display

The inverter diagnoses the main circuit capacitor, control circuit capacitor, cooling fan, inrush current limit circuit, inverter
module, and relay contacts of terminals A, B, and C, and estimates their lives.
The self-diagnostic warning is output when the life span of each part is near its end. It gives an indication of replacement time.
Guideline for life judgment using the life warning output
Part name Judgment level
Main circuit capacitor 85% of the initial capacity
Control circuit capacitor Estimated remaining life 10%
Inrush current limit circuit Estimated remaining life 10% (Power ON: 100,000 times left)
Cooling fan Less than the specified speed
Inverter module Estimated remaining life 15%
ABC relay contact Estimated remaining life 10%

3.1 Inspection item
46
NOTE
• Refer to the FR-E800 Instruction Manual (Function) to perform the life check of the inverter parts.
 Replacement procedure of the cooling fan

The replacement interval of the cooling fan used for cooling the parts generating heat such as the main circuit semiconductor
is greatly affected by the surrounding air temperature. When unusual noise and/or vibration are noticed during inspection, the
cooling fan must be replaced immediately.

NOTE
• Installing the fan in the opposite direction of air flow may shorten the inverter life. 10
• Ensure that the cables are not caught when the fan is installed.
• Switch OFF the power before starting the fan replacement work. To prevent an electric shock accident, keep the inverter with
its covers on during fans replacement since the inverter circuits are charged with voltage even after power OFF.
 Smoothing capacitors
A large-capacity aluminum electrolytic capacitor is used for smoothing in the DC section of the main circuit, and an aluminum
electrolytic capacitor is used for stabilizing the control power in the control circuit. Adverse effects from ripple currents
deteriorate capacitors. Replacement intervals of capacitors vary greatly with surrounding temperatures and operating
conditions. Replace them roughly every 10 years when used in normal air-conditioned environments.
Inspecting the product visually:
• Case: Check that the sides and bottom of the capacitor have not ruptured.
• Rubber seal: Check for any noticeable bulging or severe cracks.
• Check for external cracks, discoloration, leakage, etc. It is assumed that the capacitor has reached the end of its life when
its capacity has dropped below 80% of its rated capacity.
NOTE
• The inverter diagnoses the main circuit capacitor and control circuit capacitor by itself and estimates its remaining life. (Refer
to the FR-E800 Instruction Manual (Function).)
 Relay output terminals

• The contacts of relays deteriorate over time. To prevent faults from occurring, relays must be replaced when they have
reached the maximum of switching operations (switching life).

3.1 Inspection item
48
• The control terminal block must be replaced in case of failure of the relay connected to the relay output terminals A, B, and
C. (Refer to page 49.) (After replacing the control terminal block, set the switch to the correct position in accordance with
the control logic of input signals.) (Refer to the FR-E800 Instruction Manual (Connection) or FR-E860 Instruction Manual
(Connection).)
3.1.7 Inverter replacement

3.2 Measurement of main circuit voltages, currents,
and powers
Since the voltages and currents on the inverter power supply and output sides include harmonics, measurement data depends
on the instruments used and circuits measured. When instruments for commercial frequency are used for measurement,
measure the following circuits with the instruments given on the next page.
NOTE
• When installing meters etc. on the inverter output side
When the inverter-to-motor wiring length is long, especially in the 400 V class, small-capacity models, the meters and CTs may
generate heat due to line-to-line leakage current. Therefore, choose the equipment which has enough allowance for the
current rating.
To measure and display the output voltage and output current of the inverter, it is recommended that the terminal AM and FM
output functions of the inverter are used.

3.2.1 Measurement of powers

Use digital power meters (for inverter) both on the inverter's input and output sides.
3.2.2 Measurement of voltages and use of PT

 Inverter input side
Use a digital power meter (for inverter) on the inverter's input side.
 Inverter output side

When using a measuring instrument, use a digital power meter for inverters as the inverter outputs PWM-controlled square
wave voltage. The value monitored on the operation panel is the inverter-controlled voltage itself. Monitoring values via the
operation panel or by outputting the analog signal is recommended as these values are accurate.
3.2.3 Measurement of currents

Use a digital power meter (for inverter) both on the inverter's input and output sides.
Since the inverter input current tends to be unbalanced, measurement of three phases is recommended. The correct value
cannot be obtained by measuring only one or two phases. On the other hand, the unbalanced ratio of each phase of the output
current should be within 10%.
The inverter output current can be monitored on the operation panel. The value displayed on the operation panel is accurate
even if the output frequency varies. Hence, it is recommended to monitor values on the operation panel.
3.2.4 Use of CT and transducer

Use digital power meters (for inverter) both on the inverter's input and output sides.
Since the inverter input current tends to be unbalanced, measurement of three phases is recommended. The correct value
cannot be obtained by measuring only one or two phases. On the other hand, the unbalanced ratio of each phase of the output
current should be within 10%.
The inverter output current can be monitored on the operation panel. The value displayed on the operation panel is accurate
even if the output frequency varies. Hence, it is recommended to monitor values on the operation panel.
3.2.5 Measurement of inverter input power factor

Calculate the factor from the effective power and the apparent power. A power-factor meter cannot indicate an exact value.
[Three-phase power supply]

Effective power
Total power factor of the inverter =
Apparent power
Three-phase input power found by the 3-wattmeter method
=
√3×V (power supply voltage) × I (input current effective value)
[Single-phase power supply]

Effective power
Total power factor of the inverter =
Apparent power
Three-phase input power found by the 3-wattmeter method
=
V (power supply voltage) × I (input current effective value)
3.2.6 Measurement of converter output voltage (between

terminals P and N)
The output voltage of the converter can be measured with a voltmeter (such as a digital multimeter) between terminals P and
N. The voltage varies according to the power supply voltage. Approximately 270 to 300 V for the 200 V class, approximately
540 to 600 V for the 400 V class, and approximately 800 to 900 V for the 575 V class is output when no load is connected. The
voltage decreases when a load is applied.

When energy is regenerated from the motor during deceleration, for example, the converter output voltage rises to nearly 400
to 450 V for the 200 V class, nearly 800 to 900 V for the 400 V class, and nearly 1100 to 1300 V for the 575 V class maximum.
1
3.2.7 Measurement of inverter output frequency
In the initial setting of the FM type inverter, a pulse train proportional to the output frequency is output across the pulse train 2
output terminals FM and SD on the inverter. This pulse train output can be counted by a frequency counter, or a digital
multimeter can be used to read the mean value of the pulse train output voltage. When a digital multimeter is used to measure
the output frequency, approximately 5 VDC is indicated at the maximum frequency. 3
For detailed specifications of the pulse train output terminal FM, refer to the FR-E800 Instruction Manual (Function).
3.2.8 Insulation resistance test using megger 4

• For the inverter, conduct the insulation resistance test on the main circuit only as follows and do not perform the test on
the control circuit.
(Use a 500 VDC megger.)
5
NOTE
• Before performing the insulation resistance test on the external circuit, disconnect the cables from all terminals of the inverter 6
so that the test voltage is not applied to the inverter.
• For the continuity test of the control circuit, use a tester for high resistance range and do not use the megger or buzzer.
